Summary     : The Open Source PBX
Description :
Asterisk is a complete PBX in software. It runs on Linux and provides

does voice over IP in three protocols, and can interoperate with
almost all standards-based telephony equipment using relatively
inexpensive hardware.

Update Information:

* Tue Oct 21 2014 Jeffrey C. Ollie <jeff at ocjtech.us> - 1.8.31.1-1:
The Asterisk Development Team has announced security releases for Certified
Asterisk 1.8.28 and 11.6 and Asterisk 1.8, 11, 12, and 13. The available
security releases are released as versions 1.8.28-cert2, 11.6-cert7, 1.8.31.1,
11.13.1, 12.6.1, and 13.0.0-beta3.

These releases are available for immediate download at
http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/releases

The release of these versions resolves the following security vulnerability:

* AST-2014-011: Asterisk Susceptibility to POODLE Vulnerability

  Asterisk is susceptible to the POODLE vulnerability in two ways:
  1) The res_jabber and res_xmpp module both use SSLv3 exclusively for their
     encrypted connections.
  2) The core TLS handling in Asterisk, which is used by the chan_sip channel
     driver, Asterisk Manager Interface (AMI), and Asterisk HTTP Server, by
     default allow a TLS connection to fallback to SSLv3. This allows for a
     MITM to potentially force a connection to fallback to SSLv3, exposing it
     to the POODLE vulnerability.

  These issues have been resolved in the versions released in conjunction with
  this security advisory.

For more information about the details of this vulnerability, please read
security advisory AST-2014-011, which was released at the same time as this
announcement.

* Tue Oct 21 2014 Jeffrey C. Ollie <jeff at ocjtech.us> - 1.8.28.2-1:
The Asterisk Development Team has announced security releases for Certified
Asterisk 1.8.15, 11.6, and Asterisk 1.8, 11, and 12. The available security
releases are released as versions 1.8.15-cert7, 11.6-cert4, 1.8.28.2, 11.10.2,
and 12.3.2.

These releases are available for immediate download at
http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/releases

These releases resolve security vulnerabilities that were previously fixed in
1.8.15-cert6, 11.6-cert3, 1.8.28.1, 11.10.1, and 12.3.1. Unfortunately, the fix
for AST-2014-007 inadvertently introduced a regression in Asterisk's TCP and TLS
handling that prevented Asterisk from sending data over these transports. This
regression and the security vulnerabilities have been fixed in the versions
specified in this release announcement.

The security patches for AST-2014-007 have been updated with the fix for the
regression, and are available at http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/security

Please note that the release of these versions resolves the following security
vulnerabilities:

* AST-2014-005: Remote Crash in PJSIP Channel Driver's Publish/Subscribe
                Framework

* AST-2014-006: Permission Escalation via Asterisk Manager User Unauthorized
                Shell Access

* AST-2014-007: Denial of Service via Exhaustion of Allowed Concurrent HTTP
                Connections

* AST-2014-008: Denial of Service in PJSIP Channel Driver Subscriptions

For more information about the details of these vulnerabilities, please read
security advisories AST-2014-005, AST-2014-006, AST-2014-007, and AST-2014-008,
which were released with the previous versions that addressed these
vulnerabilities.

* Tue Oct 21 2014 Jeffrey C. Ollie <jeff at ocjtech.us> - 1.8.28.1-1:
The Asterisk Development Team has announced security releases for Certified
Asterisk 1.8.15, 11.6, and Asterisk 1.8, 11, and 12. The available security
releases are released as versions 1.8.15-cert6, 11.6-cert3, 1.8.28.1, 11.10.1,
and 12.3.1.

These releases are available for immediate download at
http://downloads.asterisk.org/pub/telephony/asterisk/releases

The release of these versions resolves the following issue:

* AST-2014-007: Denial of Service via Exhaustion of Allowed Concurrent HTTP
                Connections

  Establishing a TCP or TLS connection to the configured HTTP or HTTPS port
  respectively in http.conf and then not sending or completing a HTTP request
  will tie up a HTTP session. By doing this repeatedly until the maximum number
  of open HTTP sessions is reached, legitimate requests are blocked.

Additionally, the release of 11.6-cert3, 11.10.1, and 12.3.1 resolves the
following issue:

* AST-2014-006: Permission Escalation via Asterisk Manager User Unauthorized
                Shell Access

  Manager users can execute arbitrary shell commands with the MixMonitor manager
  action. Asterisk does not require system class authorization for a manager
  user to use the MixMonitor action, so any manager user who is permitted to use
  manager commands can potentially execute shell commands as the user executing
  the Asterisk process.

Additionally, the release of 12.3.1 resolves the following issues:

* AST-2014-005: Remote Crash in PJSIP Channel Driver's Publish/Subscribe
                Framework

  A remotely exploitable crash vulnerability exists in the PJSIP channel
  driver's pub/sub framework. If an attempt is made to unsubscribe when not
  currently subscribed and the endpoint's “sub_min_expiry” is set to zero,
  Asterisk tries to create an expiration timer with zero seconds, which is not
  allowed, so an assertion raised.

* AST-2014-008: Denial of Service in PJSIP Channel Driver Subscriptions

  When a SIP transaction timeout caused a subscription to be terminated, the
  action taken by Asterisk was guaranteed to deadlock the thread on which SIP
  requests are serviced. Note that this behavior could only happen on
  established subscriptions, meaning that this could only be exploited if an
  attacker bypassed authentication and successfully subscribed to a real
  resource on the Asterisk server.

These issues and their resolutions are described in the security advisories.

For more information about the details of these vulnerabilities, please read
security advisories AST-2014-005, AST-2014-006, AST-2014-007, and AST-2014-008,
which were released at the same time as this announcement.
